LickinFlames
We're glad you found LinkinFlames! We're a very small boutique studio pottery nestled in the foothills of rural California where we work both in stoneware and "post fired manipulations," an alternative to stoneware, where the surface of the pots is altered while it is still red hot. Our techniques are dynamic and exciting to watch and work with. We would love to share them with you. More about us...
